Explanation: This article is intended to remove a conflict between the provisions of footnote 14 of Section 174-31, Land Space Requirements Table and the provisions of Subsection 174-45.D. The latter allows the Planning Board to reduce the 50-foot front buffer requirement for certain uses in the C-1 Zoning District, whereas footnote 14 does not currently allow for such a reduction. The change would allow the Planning Board to approve a reduction by a four-fifths vote of the Board. The Board of Selectmen recommends approval by a vote of 5-0 The Finance Committee recommends approval by a vote of 6-0 (1 absent) At a public hearing held on October 7, 2015 the Planning Board voted 4-0 to recommend approval of Article 21.
